Fermenting temp

[AtlasMaxx]

I am fermenting my Belgian Wit at 72 degrees. Is that to high? I thought i should bring it down to 68. What is everyones thoughts.

Fermentation temperature will depend upon the yeast being used. What is your yeast?

The yeasts optimum range is 62°-75°F. I would keep the fermentation below 65° if you want a light spicy flavors to your beer. Higher temps will more likely give your wit fruity flavors.
